Today you’ll travel to Fundy National Park along Highway NB-114 S. Experience the awe-inspiring Bay of Fundy by visiting the same coastal location at high tide, and then return about six hours later at low tide to see the giant tides. Check out the tide schedule at either Hopewell Cape or at the village of Alma. Be sure to stop at Hopewell Rocks along the way and take advantage of visitor savings by using our CanaDream Club app.
Plan to overnight at Fundy National Park, boasting over 120 km (75 mi) of walking and hiking trails. Visit beautiful Bennett Lake where you can swim, picnic or rent a canoe. If you’d like an extra drive to experience more coastal bliss, check out the town of St. Martins.

Nestled along the Bay of Fundy, this expansive 6,323-acre park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and outdoor adventure. Begin your visit with a breathtaking 30 km scenic drive featuring panoramic coastal views, observation decks, and soul-stirring lookouts. For active travelers, 35 km of hiking and biking trails lead to hidden waterfalls, tidal-swept beaches, and towering cliffs reaching 250 meters.
The park is rich in geological and ecological significance, with Precambrian rock formations and two UNESCO-designated sites. The Fundy Escarpment—a protected corridor stretching into the bay—preserves vital ecosystems like salt marshes and tidal flats.
Enhance your experience with guided tours that explore the park’s wildlife, ecosystem, and cultural history. Food lovers can indulge in unique culinary offerings such as seaside lobster boils, build-your-own lobster rolls, and hearty Lumberjack Lunch Pails, curated by local chefs.
